Various Potters (I wasn't expecting that) and Some Other Stuff.
1) I pre-ordered Harry Potter today. (Finally). So that's out of the way. :-)
2) For those of you with cars: My friend, Lisa-Maire (potbelly13, on lj), is a Potter. Of the clay and kiln variety. :-) She's having her annual summer pottery sale out at her studio. As such, I advertise:
Poterie du Lac la Blanche
Located at 110 chemin Giroux,
Mayo Quebec.
Annual Sumemr Sale = Saturday June 23rd & Sunday June 24th, 11am-6pm.
Included in this sale - IIRC (Potbelly, please correct me if I'm wrong, so that I can edit this) - also include the actual giving away of pots (bowls, mugs, vases, etc) that didn't turn out quite the way she wanted them to.
So if you love pottery and are up for a road trip this coming weekend, you should totally go. :-D
3) I had my last belly-dance class on Thursday. (This is how I found out about the pottery sale. Potbelly is my teacher. :-) I quite enjoyed the class, and my thighs are the stronger for it. :-) (I can now bend my knees for five minutes at a stretch and not get sore! Woohoo! ;-) I will have to take another one. Or, heck, the same one over again (just to make sure I can actually do everything properly. I still suck at both water-wheel and 3/4-shimmy, at the very least).
4) This is not related any kind of potter at all, but: It appears that I'm going to get myself a pair of capri pants.
<*gasp*>
Yes, I just said 'pants'.
For those who don't know, the last time I wore a pair of pants *at all* was in late 2001. (What was I doing on september 11th? Wearing a pair of pants. Which is why I remember I was wearing them that year).
Since 2002, though, I've been in skirts, dresses, and more skirts *all the time*.
As such, this is rather monumentous.
Why am I getting them?
Because if I can find myself a cheap frock-coat (or reasonable facsimile there-of), and some boots that don't totally criple me (less easy) I can be Elizabeth Swann OR The Fop With No Name for Hallowe'en this year. :-)
Whee! :-D
(Although the thought of dancing for four hours in *pants* is just incredibly uncomfortable... yick... Sweat... And no place for it to go...) None the less, I still think it could be super fun. :-)
I'm serious about that, by the way. Every time I try on a pair of capris, I find myself thinking "Now I just need a hat. A really big one!" So that is my reason for getting capri pants.
(Wierd? Yes. And yet that's my reason. :-)
5) I slept in until 11:30 this morning. Oh, how wonderful it was. :-) I also had a very strange dream. Kermit the Frog and Big Bird were lovers (or at least sweethearts. It was a surprisingly PG13 dream, given the content) and they were leading the muppet population (at least those of The Muppet Show and Sesame Street - not sure about, say, Fraggle Rock) against an uprising of vampires in some random city with a lot of rought-iron gates and wide avenues. It may have been winter. It was *definitely* a musical.
I have no idea how that got into my head. :-)
To do today:
Laundry
Dishes
Groceries
Possibly some sewing, but possibly not
Story-Writing
Pulling up the sow-thistles in my back yard (there are rather a lot of them at the moment, and they're blocking the light from my squash).
Whee! :-)
